tired. stupid server is down, because of an earthquake in taiwan that's severed too many lines. and now everything is crawling. and photobucket refused to load, so I had to find something else that actually worked to load the pictures. I will shift back to photobucket the minute it gets back in action.

and the bidding isn't too good. I'm hoping (and praying) rather hard that everything goes as planned. or at least according to plan A. I like my original one very much. and I really hope it happens. I got my original plan somehow last sem, and I hope it happens again. hee.

and speaking of 'praying', just now it was simply hilarious. went out with vicks just now, and I dragged her from bedok to ang mo kio. and then when we were waiting at the bus stop to get an 88 to toa payoh, the sky was darkening, and so vicks asked if it were going to rain. I told her I didn't know, she had to ask the One in charge of the rain. so she let out a loud wail:

God? is it going to RAIN??

2 seconds later, the rain came down. we were like OH MY goodness gracious me it must be a sign. AHAHA. and then the rain suddenly let up, and I began to wail if 88 was ever coming. then a bus came towards us, and so I just decided to ask:

God? is that 88??

and it really WAS 88. AHAHA both of us were like oh my GOD...but seriously, He didn't need to tell us He's there. we know it! yay! so we're all going to spend eternity together. (oh no)

I wanted to say something here but now I forgot...

oh never mind then. oh I remember. the people bidding for nm2208 are being irritating! why are the points rising so high suddenly?! I can't really stash all I have there...

so God, do send another sign...=)

just tinkering around CORS. here's the modular info for the module IT1001, introduction to computing.

This module aims to provide basic IT understanding for a student who has no or little knowledge of computing. It is structured to be the course for the student who either plans to take only one course in computing in her entire undergraduate studies or wants to equip herself to do further more specialised computing studies. The module tries to be broad by touching on most aspects of computing. However, there will also be some technical depth in standard introductory computing topics.

the similar module, GEK1511, has the exact same info paragraph, except that the 2nd 'herself' is accompanied by a 'himself'. but they forgot the first 'her' still. evil sexist bums. hurrmph.

of course, I didn't have to take it so hard.

and actually there's nothing left for me to do on the comp. I feel like sleeping, actually. but I need to clear the table. oh bother. perhaps I should go play the piano, even though I swore 2 weeks off it. I don't know man. or plan tomorrow. oh gosh.

daddy said the weather makes people lazy. oh how I agree. but then again, I'm lazy rain or shine. so what was my point? nothing, really.

oh but one good thing -- I've finally gotten my archives up. unfortunately there's still an advert after all, but nothing horribly intrusive. I'm too tired to be picky at this point of time. I'm just glad that everything's up and running and it's good.

and my head really hurts somehow. and I'm yawning and yawning again. jialat.

oh I cleared my camera of the garden fest photos. so perhaps it's time to take a picture of my new soft toys. that includes krabba, my funny crabby crab from ikea, shuuji and akira, my two silly turtles, furry bian bian, the furrier version (with eyebrows) of bian bian, and of course, takopachi, the pinky octopus given by matt. yes we called it takopachi. hiak.

that's it then. I'm sleepyy sleepppyyy. but it's 4:37...

for some strange reason that I don't remember on the spot now, I didn't finish the previous entry. but it doesn't matter. now the christmas blog is done, and so is the christmas journeys. and...

MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!

okay technically it's the 26th already, considering it's past 1am here. but whatever. just wanted a christmas entry. hee. but I've been rather tired these couple of days really. well there was all that preparation for the christmas blog, and then after that event itself we all headed down to matt's house which is another long story I'm not interested in talking about right now. and basically I got home at the latest I've ever been.

and then the next morning sister and I dragged ourselves out of bed early to get to church early early to prepare for morning service since we were playing. and then after that I went out with vicks for the floral exhibition and dinner, and buying some christmas presents. arrived home at nearly 11pm and was dead tired from all the walking. will post pictures some time later. I'm not as camera whorish as some of those guys. really. those guys...I give up.

and then finally I slept in this morning. in fact, I slept like the dead. apparently my sister threw the 2 turtles at me this morning, but I have no recollection whatsoever. and then her alarm went off, my alarm went off, but my sleep went on anyway. only at 12 plus, mother entered my room and shook me up.

and actually now I should go to bed. but let me talk about my little turtles. basically, joanne and lois bought me a christmas present each. and upon opening, I found 2 identical turtles staring at me. except that one is bigger than the other. yes, turtles. so since I had two kames in front of me, my sister decided that calling them kame 1 and kame 2 is disgusting, so we decided to name them after the first kame show I watched -- nobuta wo produce.

thus my turtles are... shuuji and akira.

AHAHA. and because yamapi is bigger size than kame so the bigger turtle is akira and the smaller one is kame. terribly amusing. and then I went to buy the furrier version of bian bian myself, and then today matt pushed a pink octopus stuff toy handphone holder into my hand and happily said merry christmas. I was like oh man. it's rather cute though. apparently I got the same one as marcus. and aileen got the little whale! it cute too.

and then yesterday I got joanne a crappy carrot and lois a babbling banana. oh no no it's blabbering banana! oh either way it's funny. but didn't take pictures of either. oh never mind. geri vicks and I were laughing like nonsense about them, and then I went to get them. AHAHA.

I think I know what else I wanted to write in my previous entry. it must be about my outing with wendy siok hoon and vicks. but I'll save that for another day. very sleepy now.

righto. one day to the christmas blog! gosh. it's been so much work for it. but I suppose not quite enough. or there's just something about our rehearsals I'm not comfortable about. I think it's the lack of it. we come down everyday alright, but we come down, gather together, jacob has his fetish with technical rehearsals, but we only go through the whole thing once. we go through just once, comment, and then we all go home. only the music team stays behind and say hey let's practice that song again. the actors never do. I suppose I shouldn't fault them, but hey we can run through again just one more time if you've got the time, right? oh well. it's all too late to say all this now anyway. it's tomorrow!

but anyway the stupid SUICIDE SONG is utterly stuck in my head. totally STUCK. so stuck I've stuck it all over, from my msn to my next month's layout. YES I've actually done next month's layout and I'm freaking proud of it! here it is:

it's RUKI! *all smiles* yes yes I love reita more but I love ruki too! yays. and I really like this one. albeit the darned suicide song! okay okay it's officially called STEP BACK now. but I like it angsty grungy blah. and that's one of my nicest pictures of ruki there. I've tweaked the colour balances and hue and saturation and lighting and blah blah such that it's given ruki a little more colour, since the original photoshoot made him look so pale.

this is simply hilarious. you don't even need to know who's in the video to laugh.

and the second part:

so hilarious. or at least I thought they were funny. heh. it's a mishmash of cuts from noriko's rockin' mama, the psc tour dvd backstage shots as well as the nameless liberty six guns tour dvd backstage I believe.

oh it's terribly funny. of course, none of the subtitles are real subs. they're just for fun. if they REALLY said this, their image would flush down the drain man. totally. or at least their fanbase would be made up of very very different people...but good fun for everyone who doesn't understand. and VERY good fun for people who like making up conversations between people whom they can't hear what they're talking about. yes crystal, YOU. AHAHA.

oh well. that's that I suppose. long day tomorrow. and I really mean long. like 12 hours or something. tireeed.

OH OH OH and JUST when I mentioned yesterday that dangly boy has interesting nicks, I saw him today! went out with carr and vicks and geri on our chicken rice date (like finally) and then because we found parkway too boring, we adjourned to suntec and I saw him! AHAHA. he was dressed utterly normally and removed his earring and I nearly didn't recognise him. as in seriously, no striped jacket, no odd fashion sense, no funky bag, nothing. maybe he's working there. or maybe he's one of those who brings nothing when he goes out. yet I think not. he looks like one of those who brings a huge bag full of nothing but air. just because he likes the bag or wants to show people the freaking bag. that sort.

but oh no, he was in earthy colours (oooh carr would have liked his colour combi), simple plain brown short sleeved shirt, no pattern, no weird cutting, loose fitting, and this dark normal green jeans, not weird shade, not weird cutting, no ah beng chains, nothing. his accessories didn't change though. but sans earring.

that was the only oddity. sans earring.

unless he has some twin brother lurking...AHAHA. but today's outing was a tad weird. perhaps I should have gone along with vicks and banned geri from coming along. indeed, she is still the same. sigh. buddy, buddy. she's still the same. I suppose we do not receive the condescending tone you do, but still there are elements which still lurk within her and we were certainly not very comfortable. in fact when she asked if she should take the next sample, I don't know why but I had an immediate NO and continued walking as if I were the leader of our little expedition. I guess I'd reached the peak of disgust, somehow.

and I should sleep really soon. really.

double post. but just wanted to put this down:

世上最遥远的的距离，不是生与死的距离，不是天各一方，

而是我就在你面前，你却不知道我爱你。[张小娴]

that, was the line that touched my buddy. but I think she had hers in english. I think. in my not very fantastic present state memory.

and I'm getting scared for the christmas programme. God please help us. it doesn't look good, somehow.

and although it not very nice to say, but seriously I think to a certain extent, jacob epitomises the phrase stick in the mud. sigh.

and I think dangly boy has very interesting nicks for msn. waaaaay better than yi chuan. yi chuan sounds like danny somehow, the shopping part. as aileen says, if denise isn't free for shopping, bring danny along instead. after all, they're siblings. AHAHA.

but the worst part? she's not kidding.

maybe I'm the stick in the mud after all. I adhere to many stereotypes and conventions. a lot of them. even though I always read about breakaway factions. perhaps that is my alter ego. I don't rightly know.

and I finished a scanner darkly. finally. although I think it'll take another reading or closer reading to fully understand the significance of the title, but I thought it was very sad. when bob arctor finally lost it. and I mean lost it. and of course, the author's note. when he listed the friends he lost to drug abuse. then suddenly the chill and the suspense of the story completely melted into loss and deep sadness for the society portrayed.

so I shall plunge into another upsetting book. and this time I KNOW it's upsetting. how sad, right? I don't know why I like to read this sort of thing so much. oh well.

and I think after the whole christmas thing I'm writing 2 more songs. one's ulu's, and one more of my own.

that's it then. time to sleep. I have stuff to do tomorrow.

righto. I'm back! AHAHA. feeling much better today. still a little sleepy, but then again, I'm always sleepy, like 24/7. found another discrepancy in the script and lyrics but we'll see if we can get that figured later today. and we're supposed to have cleared all these by like yesterday. sigh. I hope we don't waste today. we don't have that many days to waste, in that sense.

I'm sorta tired, but still somehow hanging on. I think it's just because I'm sick. and then I feel a little dreary. plus the rain, and then I have to go out and that sort of feeling. gosh.

I have a couple of ideas for a new layout though. heh. but before the photoshop starts running, I need to finish my library books first! oh my goodness I was too ambitious. I have this odd feeling that I can't finish them all, and may have to choose which one I want to give up. probably the conrad and the other japanese writer one. I'll read the rest. so what am I doing now? go read!

before you believe me dead. I'm still around.

but actually I'm nearly dead. sick. and I hate being sick. then again, so does everyone. just a few things to stick here, that I really await for sam see to come home, matt is driving me further up the wall than I thought, I'm still pondering about putting andrew in with rachel, and tabby's reaction to food, and of course, I'm going to kill that buddy of mine some day. and I suppose alicia might join me.

but I still wonder about alicia.

but that is entirely not a concern for now. for now, just get well, and get the christmas programme going. I hope tomorrow won't be disastrous. let's see if matt can get things moving straight, and perhaps sister and gab might help, because I know jacob doesn't. I know he's trying to leave it to us, but sometimes it doesn't entirely work either. sigh. I'll work out the violin line and reply darel tomorrow instead. it's time to sleep. NOW.

alrighty. just back from SF retreat. wee! a little more crazy than expected, but still, well, survived after all. and I am back in one good piece. even though the super influx of sunday school transfers nearly shocked me to death, but I remain alive today after all. yes there were so many of them I couldn't believe it. it's like some kids camp this time! all the people in between couldn't make it. either that or they came part time only. and so stuck we were, with the little ones. all those 12-14 years of age people. gosh.

hell didn't quite break loose, even though there was that constant yell of TAUPOK! through the boys room, and there was loads of giggling in the girls room and I didn't quite sleep very early this time round. but I slept rather well, I must say. a few disturbing things, a few funny things, many good things, and an incredible amount of LAME THINGS! oh gosh terribly lame! I will never think about giordano the same way ever again. and I mean ever again. as to why marcus chose giordano we will never know until we ask him. but it was simply too natural when he said it. and the paul's journey to geylang too. that was actually a sign of his stress point, and he almost broke there, but then it was simply amusing to all of us instead. poor boy.

but I must thank marcus mucho because he did most of the work. I/C mah. heh. I'm not the most fantastic 2nd i/c and so poor marcu has to keep the show running. and he kept theme special running too, and he got real stressed about it too. and not to mention that he was trying to keep his brother in check too. and keith is mini marcus! absolutely! down to the hairstyle and hand actions! so hilarious.

and joanne came! AHAHA. she is one MAD child. but then again, it's quite good too. then there's somebody to go high with me, sing nonsense with me, read the chinese papers with me, drink all the milo with me, and most importantly, somebody to eat ALL MY CARROTS! yes the meals seemed to include carrots every single darn day, as if carrots were free or something. but she is really one funny girl.

and I likey denise's sheep! it's terribly cute. and it's given by this guy in her school for valentine's. she thought he'd only given her a huge bouquet of flowers, but below the flowers was this ultra cute sheepie and now denise carries it to camp all the time and we get to play with it! yay! and then joanne was using it to pretend that she's counting sheep, and rachel was like EH?! when she watched joanne do that, because rach wasn't wearing her glasses and I think joanne must have looked absolutely odd with this white blur flying in the air again and again.

and then that jiabi appeared out of nowhere, and jane was so afraid that she'd take the wrong bus or the wrong direction or BOTH even and then she'd like end up in some strange place and she would call and wail that she's lost again and she wants to go home instead of staying the night and all. and then in the end she made it to the place properly and all, and then she left her jacket behind! we discovered it after we'd packed up everything in the room, and then there was this blue furry thing on the floor, and we were wondering whose it was. nobody claimed it, and upon closer inspection, it resembled jiabi's jacket. and jane was like OH MOAN because she took it home for her.

and actually really a lot happened that's way too much to say here, so I suppose I'll archive it in my memory. I don't know how to put everything here. 5 days is a lot. technically 4 days really, but still, it's been many long days and it was really funny.

but on a more serious note, I think it was simply amazing, the theme special. pure madness. indeed moses and company were prepared for the worst case scenario, and it really could have happened. but it didn't. and somehow we didn't complain about it. I think the bomb was big, and we were on the verge of wailing and hoping that the comm was kidding. but I suppose after a while we decided that they weren't kidding at all and let's get this done. I prayed really hard for a good attitude, and I think it was better than it would have been really. and everything really went on better than I thought. and as norman says, the christmas blog has taken a way longer time to prepare. I hope that last minute work doesn't drive SF, but I also really hope that the skit is okay. they don't seem to get anywhere decent somehow and they're always laughing and all and I don't know. I should think the band should be fine, I suppose. I hope so too.

we need a lot of praying. we've a lot of it to do man.

and after this whole thing I'm writing another song. I've got some more weirdo chords up my not very long sleeve and I'm going to dish them out. hiak. the whole bunch of them are going to scream somewhat at me again for it but still I am going to do that.

and I suppose it's been great that through all the events, from spa to christmas to retreat, that God has planted more and more people in my life to see me through the times, and to remind me the importance of attending church in the first place. I know when I was younger I didn't understand why I had to drag myself out of bed and get to church. then later I learnt that it wasn't just about dragging myself out of bed and getting to the building -- it was also about making friends in church so that when things happen, there are people to fall back on as well, to remind you that God's there, that people are praying for you, to encourage you and to stand with you, and sometimes God speaks through them, so you'll never know what God has to say via all these people. that's why we create youth groups, that's why sunday school exists. that's why the adults' service is for the adults. the peer group idea actually works. it works more than we all think. even though I took a 'senior citizen' photo today with aileen denise and amy (but I remain the eldest anyway) I think that somehow or another we're still young people in a sense and that when we band together it's different from just following your parents in the morning and then that's it for the day. the church isn't the freaking building -- building without the people is still just a building. the church is a group of people. even without a building, when the christians gather together they are still a church.

of course, the family is hard to keep together. and to a certain extent, I wonder if it's because we don't come from very functional families to begin with. or that there's something somewhere we refuse to understand. after the lessons on the importance of having one another in the church, and not just ourselves, or even just God and ourselves, and also to have love in the family, still funny things happen. tuan fung stepped on joshua out of anger; dawn decided that the peach tea was ours, and so samuel shouldn't have gone round to share it with others; tuan fung totally treated samuel with disrespect; the girls' dorm refused to sleep, and even went around at 3am to take pictures of how others slept; the guys have massive taupoking sessions. it's just...hmmm. perhaps it is not for me to judge. but I still found it all disturbing.

perhaps we all lead too selfish lives. that what's mine remains only mine, that what we like is what we like, and the world must change for us. the water's too cold, find some source of hot water like NOW. we're hungry, we can't be bothered about doing anything else. the toilet's disgusting, let's never come here again. we're told to move it, but we're playing a good game and so we don't want to. we having a fantastic time playing here, so let's just tell them we've eaten when we actually haven't and then we can carry on playing.

why do we do such things? perhaps man is still selfish after all. no matter what we say, what we learn, we need to consciously make sure that we strive to be unselfish. the world may be selfish, but we need not be.

oh man now I feel like writing a song entitled the world is selfish. or something like that.

and I'm like trying this stupid thing that yuting's stuffed on her blog. and I am waaaaay too tired to think now.

oh and on a less serious note (I wanted to add this at the end of it all), joanne and I have agreed that marcus has one of the prettiest eyes ever. and I mean it. he looks absolutely like his mother. and his lashies are good stuff.

don't worry, I'm not fangirling over a fifteen year old.

furthermore, a lame rafflesian.

time to sleep! feeling so warm and tired...

righto. tomorrow is SF retreat! woohoo! it's going to be another tiring week. in my opinion, it's going to be another tiring 2 weeks, because after the retreat it's full christmas rehearsals ALL THE WAY.

so yes, I'm going to MIA for a week or so. let's see if I'm alive enough after this week. I'm not sleeping too well, and not eating too well either. but oh WELL.

and I went to ikea today! wee! and there were many many many many many krabbas! okay I'm still rather obsessed with my silly flat crab. all those who have the ikea catalogue can find my krabba on the first page of the children's section pages. and it's so CUTE! I still think it's cute. and there were so many many of them! all strewn everywhere though. the place is so crowded, and such a mess! oh my goodness. honestly I think we all shouldn't step in there until after chinese new year. but perhaps just after christmas it might look better. and I'm wondering if the crowd will sorta subside by like my next holiday. may next year will be absolutely off peak, with holidays only impending, and no festival to buy furniture and funny little cutlery. we'll see about that. yes the tampines branch is bigger and all, but somehow I still felt so cramp and disoriented. but perhaps that's because it was SO crowded, and it was my first time there.

and before aileen and I left for ikea, we were stuck with a bunch of lame folks in the church office. even norman was going to bang his head against the wall. he was like eh what's the idd code for new zealand? we need to call sam see back! and I totally agree. like why on earth is matthias the one in charge?! but I suppose denise can't really take charge because she's really busy with school and all now. but matt...and then plus his best friend marcus, and plus wonderful jacob, you get ultimate lameness.

and I've got a nice screenshot for mark! and a nice performance of THE FINAL too. heh. and my sister just educated me on the parts of the drumset, which I totally fail at. totally.

time to sleep. seriously.

december oh-nine

oh my. it's been some time. 3 entries in 9 days. oh that's uber little, considering it's the holidays. and then next week is sf retreat. and then the week after is pure rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal. gosh. and all I did was to turn up for ONE audition, which obviously didn't quite turn out like an audition. gabriel might as well have just plucked the worship schedule off the notice board and read the names off there.

but beyond that.

actually it's been quite fun. and quite funny. yes it is sometimes exasperating because either we don't get stuff straight, or personally, I don't seem to get my arrangement straight. I seem to ask for strange things that they've either never tried before or we have limited resources. yes it's true I'm quite a guitar idiot, but I didn't expect that the typical electric guitar sound to be so dependant on the distortion pedal. I thought that was more for the really weird sounds. but I suppose it depends on what sort of pedal. and better still, apparently there's a way to get the sound like that without the pedal! I didn't understand a word of what they were saying, but I suppose if they can do it, yay! because silly me has no idea how on earth to do this sort of thing. and I'm quite insistent. hiak. sorry dear gervais, and very sorry to matthias who's on his way to killing me for killing his fingers.

and for mark's sake, I'm going to kindly upload 5 freaking files (no they're not very big but EVEN THEN) in exchange for a decent quality version of THE FINAL live, anywhere. preferably the it withers and withers tour, I suppose. I know they performed it in the states when they went on the family values tour, but I have a feeling the lighting and the crowd there isn't too good, so I'd get a pretty crappy video. but I'm freaking uploading 5 videos so let's hope something good comes out of that. I like the song very much anyway. so I don't really mind a live version of that.

and then and then. and then I'm rather tired. and I think at the end of this whole christmas thing, I'm going to memorise those 5 songs, since 1 is written by me, and another is arranged by me. and I've heard trust me so many times, and step back, and betrayal is actually the very first recording we received, so I've heard these songs like super many number of times. oh gosh. and I think after my lightstick song, jon's song was this godsend to the rest of the band and we jammed like there was no tomorrow man. and I think we kinda shocked shao and jacob with that angsty twang in our music. which was all funny, actually.

oh oh and aileen and sam see made a 'music video' for step back! oh my goodness that was SO funny. jon didn't think it was funny, of course, but it was simply hilarious all the same. his lyrics are so dramatic, his melody is even more dramatic, and the most dramatic is his voice itself. the two of them were like reaching their hands out in this dramatic fashion and pretending to scream NOOOOOOOO and try to grab an imaginary hand of the suicidal kid who wants to jump and all. it was so terribly funny. yeah it's all about suicide but we still made a joke out of it. in fact we've been laughing about that song since jon completed it. after all, the infamous left slash right behind is simply priceless.

to begin with, jon wanted to call it the suicide song. and then gab couldn't think of a better name. so suicide song it was. and then jon said oh let's call it 'right behind', because it sings about a friend trying to stop the guy from jumping, saying that he's right behind. then we argued, saying that if the guy jumps, then the friend isn't right behind -- he's LEFT behind. and the pun was so terrible. and then jon was like OH fine, then it's left/right behind! but we burst out laughing, because that reads as left SLASH right behind. and there's this part about blades and all and we're like OH NO NO NO no slash!! and then we ended up with this lousy story about this guy who uses his left hand to slash his right behind and then we said NO NO the friend who's supposedly right behind uses his left hand to slash the guy's right behind and the story went on and on and more and more nonsensical.

but simply priceless. absolutely hilarious.

and I'm supposed to type out the schedule for the rehearsals after the retreat. and since the die angle file is going to take twice as much time (oh crappy that means 40 freaking minutes), I shall quicky type out the schedule now. it's not difficult anyway. PROCASTINATOR.

oh yay done. silly me. AHAHA.

and I don't feel like typing anymore. so there.

tired. today I felt like I went back to work. you know, the days when we folded letters, stamped addresses on envelopes, put stuff together into a package, counted what we had, organising them, dumping things into those boxes that used to hold plain white a4 paper, labelling those boxes, using even the covers of those boxes. yeah. went to church to help with the christmas invite cards stuff, and what a mess it was. but it was quite fun all in all. I suppose I just don't mind this sort of work. just one day, after all. it wasn't all that boring. although it was sad ulu couldn't come in the end, since I hadn't really talked to her for some time, I suppose I worked faster that way. hiak. me and talking are very bad business.

and actually I should like go sleep now, because I have a long day tomorrow. and since I'm done with my first batch of icons, I shall continue another day then. I've joined another gazette community for the icons' sake (since all my other communites disallow/not meant for icons, except the alice nine one). heh. but my fingers are kinda itchy. feel like doing some. heh. and now that I've got the hang of it, it's time to create my style.

I'm still alive, in case anybody wanted to know. and the reason why I simply died here is because I was studying for philo. or at least I was trying to. then I just finished yesterday, but refused to blog, because I was busy hacking my photoshop to pieces by creating a slew of livejournal icons. it's terribly addictive. in fact I'm still at it. I'm just typing here because I haven't done so for a long long time. because actually I'm not in the mood to type. so I'll be going back to my photoshop. I'm kinda feeling bad because actually I kinda like this layout pretty much, and I still like anna tsuchiya loads, and so...hmmm. but I don't want to leave her here until next month, because I want to start the year with a spanking nice new layout and try some new styles or something like that. so the anna tsuchiya one has to go. oh well.

but anyway on the left is anna tsuchiya, and she's fantastic singer. a mix of russian and japanese, her english is a bit fuddy and her favourite lyric phrase must be 'shut your mouth'. it appears a number of times. oh well. the words are from 'lovin' you', which is one of my favourite anna songs. the lovely open and closed inverted commas are actually ripped off my philo lecture notes. they're big and cute and classic looking, and I can colour them any colour I like because they're such basic shapes. so I shall thank holbo for them. I don't know where he got them from though. it doesn't really look the type of thing he'd draw, but you'd never know, really.

and since I've typed such a huge chunk, I must take my leave. I'm really quite sleepy actually but I shall persevere on in my icon making. oh gosh reminds me of matthias today.

with perseverance, willpower and determination.

we all nearly smacked him. and the funniest was because jacob told us to stay only 30 minutes or so to help candy with the paperwork, but we ended up being there for about 1.5 hours instead, then jacob emerged from his office, and matthias proclaimed:

jacob! so much for your half an hour. I SHALL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN.

we all cracked up. and then in the end matthias went into jacob's office to help with some other stuff, leaving poor sebastian to finish up the remainder of the packing, and when matt came out, sebastian was like

you left just like that! matthias, I WILL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN.

oh my gosh. so classic. matt, mark and marcu must really attend physio class or something. they are all too lame. absolutely. they will never walk again. sigh.

how can she be beautiful @ 2258h, eyes love you - hide
